Eventually, her children did age and sought after different professions; Marge became a breeder of bull-dogs, whilst Vernon became the head of Grunnings, a drill-making company.

Sometime in or after her son grew up, he proposed to Petunia Evans in the family's sitting room, sometime in 1977[2], and in Petunia's acceptance this lady gained a daughter-in-law.

It is presumed that she was deceased sometime in or before 1991, as her adopted nephew-in-law, Harry Potter, never heard mention of her.

Notes and references

↑If her son proposed in 1977, then he must have been the legal age, presumably 18 years old. She must have been at least 18 as well to have been married and had him (assuming she followed the law). Hence, that sets her latest possible date of birth as 1941.
